Facebook Bias in Trending Topics

Although Mark Zuckerberg disputes that Faceook slants their trending topics sidebar against Conservatives/Republicans, there is another story that proves the fact.

Imagine my surprise when I see a story on Stacey Dash and how she was supported by an ex-fiance in 2006. She is an advocate for women and for being independent of men and she is being accused of being a hypocrite for allowing her former fiance to help her financially for a while. But most importantly, she is a Conservative. I doubt there would be any story of this type about a Democrat.

Zuck is a piece of #####. So is Ellison. So are the other big shots in S Valley.

I have NEVER seen google news where the top 3 stories weren’t left slanted.

So to sum up, we have:

The Administration
The MSM
Hollywood
Dem party
Rep party!
most world leaders
and a bunch of demograhpics against us.

AND WE’RE TIED!!!

It can’t get any better for them. This is like The Bulge and Germany is out of gasonline.

Uncle manned a machine gun on a tank. Stories he told before he died would make any man cry.

All it takes is a few hundred, or perhaps a thousand or so, people to type the same basic thing into the search function and it gives the illusion of a trend.

If we were to get all the FReepers to coordinate at noon on Friday and type “Who is Lazamataz?” in Google or Facebook or wherever, it might come up as a trending topic.

It’s all about the algorithm and it’s skewed by how many lefties use the various social media sites and popular search engines. They read some crap on the Huffington Compost and want to know more about it and ‘voila’.

Great perspective, thanks! It really does get to me sometimes, but you’re right, WE ARE TIED. With all the heavyweights in the country bending over backwards for the Hildabeast, WE ARE TIED!

Leftists lie, this is their nature and are genetically wired to do so. Pay no attention to the libtards behind the curtain. Recently got a new android phone which had a Facebook “feed” giving me constant crap every time I turned on the phone. I turned off the feed but was “warned” that my phone or other apps would not work “correctly” if I did. I did , phone works fine and I don’t see that liberal crap anymore.

Whatever is posted as “News” by any technology or listed Wall Street company, I assume is completely 100% wrong and provably the exact opposite.

Until I see independent news sources that I trust (very few) that confirm a piece of information.

Otherwise, it’s all eye-wash.

I turned off the feed but was “warned” that my phone or other apps would not work “correctly” if I did.

The warning was correct but incomplete. They meant your phone wouldn't work "politically correctly.", LOL.

Do not leave facebook open on your tabs at the top.Do not post articles there just do family chat 3 times a day and shut down after you respond.After they removed my posts on the vote on gay marriage and froze my account when I was deleting gay flag people I am done.

Good idea.
